It seems like no one's really talking about potential repercussions for Pachulia. Does that mean it's that much of a given that nothing's going to happen? No chance he gets suspended for a game or more? To me this deserves more than a one game suspension.

If anything the league will probably come down harder on Pop for his rant than address ZaZa. Hell, they'll probably find a way to blame Leonard.
How loss of fucking Pachulia will affect anything ?

I said on RealGM yesterday that the NFL has a rule were repeated H2H hits draw greater penalties. The league should do that with flagrants. That people are trying to give Zaza the benefit of the doubt is ridiculous. At this point, though, it shouldn't even be about that. Should just be an immediate suspension and fine.

His screens are actually pretty valuable to the NBA's golden twink. That's what got Curry going at the start of the 3rd. Id rather have McGee's dumbass out there, tbh.

Pop isn't concerned about that. He was just answering the question. Pop is pissed that Kawhi is hurt. Kawhi is his prodigy, everyone else can go fuck themselves, he's got a legit superstar he and RC pulled from a George Hill trade. He wants to protect him and wants the team to have the best chance to compete. He didn't say shit about Tony's injury, it is what it is, but Kawhi's was avoidable. The risk Pop ignored intentionally is that Kawhi was already gimpy, had no business out there to begin with, and guys throwing alley oops up for him, not smart at all. I'd bet Pop didnt' want KL on the floor in game 1 but KL was cleared. Pop likely chewed some asses over it. I'd hate to be in the room tbh.

Yeah, I saw that disgraceful, unprofessional El Hassan (ESPN should have fired his ass), who's a blatant Spurs hater/Warriors fan because he's still bitter about the Spurs owning his SSOL Suns, claim Spurs fans are not allowed to complain about this because of Bowen. Which is really his way of coping out because he knows it was dirty, but doesn't want to admit it because of his bias. The reality is, Bowen is irrelevant, but even if he were and was as bad as so many claim, as the cliché goes, two wrongs don't make a right.

It's the stupidest argument ever. It's retarded logic I wish somebody in the media would confront these idiots and call them out on their bs. Going by their logic then Bulls fans can never complain if one of their players gets injured due to a dirty play because they had a dirty player in Dennis Rodman, Knicks fans can't complain since they had Oakley, Laker fans can't complain since they had Artest. Just a very very stupid argument based on hatred. That's all it is.

Personally, I've wanted Spurs' players to target injured opponents many times, and most posters here have done the same:lol The problem I have with the coverage of Pachulia's play was that people are actually trying to deny that it was intentional or dirty, which is just asinine..
And of course, the fact that Warriors players can get away with murder without being punished..I dislike punishments to players, but there has to be consistency..

Bruce is no saint but if I'm playing devil's advocate I could say he only take one big step to contest on Tmac. This motherfucker Zaza took his big step and then an additional baby step, the first one cool you can sort of brush it off but the second one is too fucking obvious man:

He starts off like a foot from the paint and ends up outside the 3PT line. That fucking POS, man. :(
Also this notion that there's no possible way he would've known where Kawhi would land because he wasn't even "looking down" is bullshit imo. He's literally inches from Kawhi's body and right foot, any human being can get a feel for where the other foot will land when you are that close to someone.

I just noticed something that made it look ore intentional - when Zaza had his eyes on the ball, the shot was already released and he saw this. He still decided to keep moving forward, despite the ball being released. At that point, he can either know that he altered Kawhi's shot or not, so undercutting was Zaza's objective.

Yep. I picked the Spurs against the Grizz and Rockettes as much out of loyalty as conviction that they would win. But after game 6 against Houston and up until Kawhi got injured against the Dubs, I started to really believe it was our year. I'm pretty sure that Pop thought we were going to pull off this championship.
Kawhi's injury has also made me reflect on all of the weird lineups Pop used throughout the season... Maybe Pop isn't as senile, unmotivated or drunk on wine as some ST posters thought.

He would not have allowed Houston to beat the GSW... Much less would've had to even intervene... the Rockets were too gimmicky and would have faltered without any further 'adjustment'...
Look I realize it's probably not the case... operative meaning of the phrasing "could also be part"... it's just completely bewildering how the league chooses to stay mum when Zaza's thuggery was blatantly obvious... Kawhi on a fadeaway is what makes it obvious... Bewildering situations allow for the irrational - which in my mind includes agendas that the league has already set a precedent for. Long shot factor? yes. Completely implausible? No...

I do believe the league favors certain teams and players but it has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with greed. Like I said Houston is huge market it's even a bigger market than the Bay Area https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Metropolitan_Statistical_Areas. Why would Silver dick over the Rox if they were in the same situation. I don't think the Rox could beat GSW but if they had a chance I just don't see Silver going out of his way to screw them over due to them having a bigger market than the Bay Area which equals more dollars in Silver's pocket. They are two things you need to have in this league to generate ratings which is either you have to be from a big market or having a player that can generate huge ratings ala Lebron. Spurs unfortunately don't have either and that plays a huge role in them getting dicked over which is no fault of their own.
I definitely feel the league and the media showed their true colors by making sure that Zaza didn't get suspended. The media played it's role by screaming repeatedly that what Zaza did was an accident and was not dirty. When people called it dirty they played the Bowen card. It's terrible how ESPN is the biggest sports media outlet but also has a TV deal with the NBA so there is no way they can ever be fair and not biased towards certain teams.
